Financial aid night coming up

WESTFALL — Jay Tucker, chair of the Counseling Department and coordinator of college financial aid in the Delaware Valley School District will be sponsoring a Financial Aid Night for the parents of DV High School seniors on Wednesday, Jan. 6. The seminar will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the DV High School Auditorium and will fully acquaint parents with the financial aid programs available for higher education from universities, colleges, technical schools and other post secondary educational institutions. A thorough explanation of grants, student loans, parent loans, need analysis, and financial aid packaging will be discussed. Tucker said “there are many state and federal financial aid programs for students, but it is necessary that the correct forms be processed and that the deadlines for filing them be observed.” The new financial aid forms for 2010 will be available.
